Which of Kanto's cross evolutions in Sinnoh are most likely going to get a mega evolution?

We have Rhyperior, Magnezone, Tangrowth, Licklicky, Magmortar, Electivire, and Porygon-Z.
Lickilicky and Tangrowth are unpopular. I can't see Magnezone or Electivire getting a mega evolution. Electrode would likely get the mega evolution because the potential design would be extremely popular. (Master Ball). Design potential is a key factor in how Game Freak decides which Pokemon will get mega evolutions.
Take a look at Banette and Dusknoir. Banette got a mega evolution but Dusknoir didn't even when Sableye and Gallade got one in ORAS. That shows mega evolutions are sometimes used to balance pairs where one member has a Sinnoh cross evolution. If Electrode got a mega, he would be even with Magneton and Electabuzz. Like Banette and Dusknoir. I can also see Mega Jynx because Jynx, Electabuzz, and Magmar are a trio. Mega Jynx would make things fair between the trio.
Now, here is why I think Rhyperior and Porygon-Z would get mega evolutions. Rhydon was the first Pokemon ever created. They made Rhyperior in Gen 4. Game Freak is very loyal and very obsessed with Gen 1. I believe Game Freak would show loyalty to Rhydon by making a mega for Rhyperior. Porygon-Z is just cool.
Mega Porygon-Z in X2Y2 or Z or whatever makes sense because the games would be Zygarde oriented. Another reason Porygon-Z has a great shot at a mega evolution is because Porygon got an evolution in Gen 2 and Gen 4. A mega evolution continue the pattern.
